Jenine, I am an American eye doctor living between USA and Panama. Your local physician in San Carlos is fine for minor health issues. For diabetes, consider being evaluated at Punta Pacifica Hospital in Panama City. It is Johns Hopkins University affiliated. Best to get this done so that if you do have issues, baseline is established. Also, since annual eye health evaluations are necessary with diabetics, get this done in Panama. Consider getting the government health Plan for major issues. It is affordable. Best to you.
Thanks! Dr Arosemena at wwwEyeDoctorPanama.com is in Panama City and excellent
Paul we will be moving down to Panama probably Boquete, and yes I will need an retina specialist to check my conditions.Hope to find some in David or will need to travel .
@@zenmaiden1 David will have a retina specialist. Health care in Panama is excellent and very affordable.
What an amazing interview. Loved the fact that they found their comfort zone in San Carlos and their kid is adjusting well to his new environment.
They are very happy in San Carlos!
Wow! The quality of PRT videos has improved in leaps and bounds recently; they contain so many more helpful images and so much more comprehensive information. Thank you so much!
Outstanding glad you like it I'm from so cal and on my way to Panama going to Coronado already have a place it's so nice there enjoy
Sounds great!
Thanks for sharing your experience. We're looking at moving to the Coronado area so hearing of your experience is very important.
We were planning to come to Panama in a year. Suddenly I have custody of a 12 year old granddaughter. This info was so helpful. Your "work" sounds awesome and life changing. 😀
Thank you! Glad to be of help for your granddaughter. Our "work" is awesome. Life changing is perfectly stated. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
My daughter is also an insulin dependent diabetic. This is AMAZING to know!
Absolutely amazing video. Thank you so much.
Beautiful family, we are from So Cal also, small world! We are also seeking a change to go to Central America . We will be retiring to Panama. loved the home, wonder what the cost of the rental is for a place that size. love the view, of the ocean. We prefer the cooler temps so Boquete is shat we are thinking of. It’s good to know there are pharmacies snd hospitals near by.
Carl and Jenine, bienvenidos a nuestro distrito, desde ahora cuenten con mi amistad, tengo una casa en la Ermita de San Carlos, sean siempre los bienvenidos. Saludos Idys
Mucho gusto. Gracias
I really enjoyed hearing about the schools, car pooling, medical information.
Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks Jackie, great video! Love their home, wish I had a pool like that ;)
It's a beautiful property with amazing views!
@@PanamaRelocationTours Are there similar properties in Boquete like this ( sans the beach?) Gated or non..?
@@PanamaRelocationTours Jackie, thank you for another fabulously informative and amazingly overall insightful video. I love this home community. The video showed a high rise home with cost listed at $1600/mo; wondering how hutch their home is per month?
It was GREAT to meet you guys at Playa Coronado on New Years Eve!
From New York...I am from Panama
Over there you find peace..
Beautiful house, near to the beach.
You definitely find all those things in Panama!
Took the tour had a great time met wonderful people it's the most beautiful place
Panama looks beautiful! can't wait!
Panama is AMAZING! Come see for yourself.
Wow! What an amazing couple! They're doing really great work! Good to know their info in case I need it! And their home with that view is just stunning!
Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you! We are hear whenever you need. Cheers.
great video! thanks for sharing!👍😎🌴
Thanks for the visit
Oh gosh. I like this couple but I can't resist poking fun at the California psycho mumbo jumbo at the end. Guess I'm just an old John Wayne type up for the rough n' tumble adventure! You make up your mind to do something and you do it! If you find you don't like it, no regrets and move on!
Great information ******. Thank you for your information and education
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing. I am also insulin-dependent. Where do you get your diabetic supplies from in the states and does your insurance help with the cost?
Wow! the only thing missing from video are the unicorns. Been going to San Carlos for over 60 years and little has changed with exception of dogs seemingly getting more to eat. lots of weekend entertainment - weekly cock fights where winner gets a case of Balboa Beer and an occasional Pindin (local music). Nice place to visit and enjoy local culture, living there is something else.
Loved your video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice Couple..blessing💯👍❤🇵🇦
Thanks! Blessing to you
Thanks for watching the video!
Beautiful home and family i think I could visit for a while when the mosquitos aren't biting but I was told that it's not much to do other than go swimming where it's hot or to go visit the Panama Canal I wouldn't mark it off the list but I was checking with Puerto Vallarta and other surrounding cities that are nice too I too from California so that beach tropical vibe is so beautiful, but the aspect that you have to have a car unless you live closer to downtown or Buqeutte where the weather is cooler and the rain fall isn't going to flood where you live but enjoy that's for sharing and what your profession is is really awesome helping people to conquer inner demons
Thanks!
There are so many amazing things to do in Panama. A lot more than just going swimming.
Amo panama saludos desde suiza 🇨🇭 ❤❤
Tienes buen Español. Saludos de una panameña!
Stunning Property🏡😍😍
We agree!
I like the comment "The land give you the energy itself".
Panama has amazing energy!
That’s a gorgeous place. I was born in Panama but never saw this area.
Hey Queen, it's time for a Panama visit!
Thank you so much for this video. We are hoping to relocate with three children this summer! A quick question: In many videos/pictures of Panama it looks grey/overcast. I really need the sun as overcast days feel depressing. Do you think this would be a problem for someone moving from the grey days in Canada? Thank you very much.
The rainy season is April to December in Panama. The day usually starts out with blue skies but you may have grey skies and rain in the afternoon
@@PanamaRelocationTours But you answered another comment saying 7 months of rain would be awful and it's not true, yet here you say EIGHT months of rainy season (april - dec is 8) .... ??
Hi, love the vibe. Are there any Facebook groups you can recommend, more social as opposed to Real estate. Thanks
There are facebook groups for each area in Panama.
Beautiful spot, interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Such a nice place! My uncle has a house there !
Great video. What would it be the cost of a house like this? Are they renting or bought it?
🙌🙌🙌
Buenaventura resort in Río Hato opened a New school this year.
their son is going to that school now
good for your family! pretty property
We are planning to retire there but only for curiosity approximately how much is a house like that there ?
I am from So Cal as well (Orange County). I have grown up surfing and have been a surf/water photographer for some time but it's getting so crowded and the prices are eye watering. A 2bd/2ba apartment is 4k and up. Honestly, I don't see how a person can retire here unless they are in the millionaire club. How is the surf in San Carlos??? I like the part of the video about driving. Reminds me of Costa Rica, San Jose to be specific. Organized chaos but it works. Glad it is working out for you guys.
Surf is ok in San Carlos. It's better in Chame, Playa Venao and Bocas del Toro.
I found the same thing when I was in Equador....constantly barking dogs. Do you find that the dogs that are constantly barking in the background of this video is the norm?
We are considering retirement in panama. Can someone explain the weather a bit more? We hear and read that it rains for 7 months. We live in new mexico where it's sunny and dry most of the time ...7 months of rain sounds terrible but everyone seems so pleased😊 We must be missing something. Can anyone help us understand what the rain season is actually like? Thank you!
there is not 7 months of rain. That would be awful!. Here's an article about the seasons in Panama. panamarelocationtours.com/panama-seasons
Greetings from downtown San Carlos 😄
Thanks for the video. It was very interesting. Can you please tell what the name of the school in Coronado is your son is going to now?
they moved to Panama Pacifica. Their son goes to school there now.
@@PanamaRelocationTours We are thinking of moving to Coronado or Buenavista. Knowing which school they chose with such a good curriculum would be great. We are currently unsure what the best option for our kids is.
👌🏽
Private schools are mostly in the city. There are very good private schools but it will require traveling and it will take too long of a commute. What part of Southern California are you from? I lived in California ( San Diego) for 12 years and California is my adopted state. California is the jewel of America 🇺🇸
There are 6 private schools in the Coronado area, 2 in David, 1 in Volcan, and 1 in Boquete.
ARE YOU RENTING AND HOW MUCH PER MONTH?
Who is Jackie? I would love her help on my move to Panama.
Jackie is the founder and owner of Panama Relocation Tours. Read about me at panamarelocationtours.com/about-us
How is the housing market there for square footage?
the numbers are all over the place. It depends on where the house is located, the size of the house, and the construction (high end or modest)
Did you guys buy your house?
Did you bring your car, or did they buy one.
they bought a car in Panama.
How much does a home like this cost to rent if I may ask?
in the Coronado area, rents are much higher than other places in Panama. Your rent would be about $2500 a month.
Can you get around in taxis there?
Sure, taxis are readily available in Panama
Hi beautiful couple … Do you have to buy a house for $ 400 thousands since each of one of you have to get $200 thousand each in other to get your residency?
They are renting. You do not need to buy real estate for residency
I don't like how the new videos are showing higher and higher priced apartments at the end ... $1600 is not MY IDEA of "affordable"
Gringo prices! do you speak Spanish? I prefer to mix it with locals and discover things on my own. Not to discount Jackie's work in any way. She does awesome work for a certain type of gringo. Hopefully this beautiful land won't become overrun with east/west coast millionaires. There are lots of hard-working, lower-middle class Americans losing their life's energy/savings to inflation and job-displacement who could contribute to the local economy here and have a chance to stretch their meager savings.
It's a large home.
In Latin countries the education is WAY HIGHER! than USA. 😅💯
